Trick Dog Training
While we often recommend obedience training we realize that sometimes we like to do MORE with our dogs! And what is more fun then tricks?! We are certified AKC Trick Dog Evaluators! We are now offering trick dog classes. In these classes students will work on the tricks needed to pass their respective trick dog tests! These tests include obedience, agility, trick and nose work skills. At the end of each 6 week session we will perform a trick dog test- complete w/formal evaluation and rosettes for those teams who pass! These classes are easy going and meant to be totally fun. You can read more about AKC's Trick Dog Titles- but please note that ALL dogs can get trick dog titles- purebred or not!
Trick Dog Level 1:
This is a NEW class we are offering to help keep your pup engaged and learning during the cold winter months. This class is a fun class that will combine obedience, agility, nosework and trick training. You and your pup will learn about obedience skills, get to run and jump in agility, use their noses in nosework, and fine tune your dog's trick resume! Your pup will get to dabble in several different games and at the end of each 6 week class we will do the AKC Trick Dog Test- where your dog can earn Trick Dog Titles! Dogs of all ages and levels of training can participate, although we do recommend that they've done at least one round of basic obedience (this class isn't meant to be an obedience class, so if you are looking for manners-type training, please refer to the Beginning classes listed above!) This class meets weekly for 6 weeks, for 45 minutes. Class size is limited to 6 dogs (3 dogs minimum).

AKC Trick Dog Title Evalution
AKC just changed their rules and is now allowing evaluators to view/approve your trick dog titles via VIDEO! If you would like to try to earn AKC Trick Dog Titles we can help you out! You'll need to download the forms from AKC for each title level you are pursuing. Once you've purchased your evaluation you'll receive an email- please send your video as a response to that email or send it to us off the Whispering Echos Farm Facebook page! While having your video assessed is not an automatic approval, we'll work to help you get to that point if needed.
